Will COVID-19 change the workplace and shopping habits permanently?

Asked by JLeslie (65412points) March 14th, 2020 from iPhone

Will some workplaces reevaluate telecommuting altogether, and allow more of it in the future? Less money spent on office space, and it’s greener for the environment.

Will people buy more online ongoing now that they are doing it to avoid stores, or get items the stores have run out of? Will the behavior permanently switch for those who has been resistant to use online previously?

Or, is it just the opposite? Businesses will look forward to things back to normal and more face-to-face interaction with employees? Will people prefer to puck their own apples and tomatoes, and so supermarket buying will never disappear.
